Shows Began

Famous quotes containing the words shows and/or began:

    In a moment when criticism shows a singular dearth of direction every man has to be a law unto himself in matters of theatre, writing, and painting. While the American Mercury and the new Ford continue to spread a thin varnish of Ritz over the whole United States there is a certain virtue in being unfashionable.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    But the cheerful Spring came kindly on
    And show’rs began to fall:
    John Barleycorn got up again
    And sore surpris’d them all.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
